Lil Bit Special Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 http://www.kansascity.com/sports/royals/story/722113.html Should the Royals send pitcher Brian Bannister back to New York if offered outfielder Melky Cabrera or another run-production bat in return? Such an offer might be forthcoming, because the Yankees appear determined to boost their rotation and are showing increased interest in Bannister as an alternative if ongoing efforts to acquire Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I call bullspit Why would the Yankees want to trade the best 2nd baseman in the AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I call bullspit Why would the Yankees want to trade the best 2nd baseman in the AL Agreed. This makes no sense. The rotation is NOT struggling and Wang will be back. They need Cano's offense, now that he remembered how to create some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Maybe when Robbie was hitting .180 but no way are they trading him now. Greinke is very good and it probably is a fair deal but it is likely a old offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 They already have Bannister. His name is Darrell Rasner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greinke is very good and it probably is a fair deal but it is likely a old offer. Even if they traded Cano when he was hitting .180, I'd consider Cashman & CO to be mentally challenged.

shawn306 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Right now making that kind of a deal seems a little ridiculous. I wouldn't even do a Washburn for Cabrera straight up. Seattle wants to get rid of Washburn. He has been a flop in Seattle and is making a ton of money. Cabrera, despite all the rips taken at the guy is still the best defensive outfielder the Yankees have. Unless the Yanks have someone in the minors ready to come up and play center what are they going to do ? Put Damon back in Center ? I won't even get into the talk about Cano. That is beyond ridiculous right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Um, lets see...Cano has better carrer numbers than Kinsler. Sorry Like what? OPS I am sure? Um, no. Power? um no, Kinsler's HR/ab is better. Speed? um no, Kinsler kills Cano there. Cano is better in batting average (in decline the past 2 years though) and has more RBI (I did not research opprotunities). Even DaBrick (madmike) will tell you Kinsler is better based on numbers.

When the year is over I expect Cano's career numbers to still be better like they were before this season started. Cano is a better hitter. Im sorry that upsets you.

Cano is a better hitter. Im sorry that upsets you. Oh, so you are basing this study on YOUR EXPECTATIONS of where he will be. Very scientific. I based my study on CAREER to TODAY. If I wanted to throttle you in this, I would have done YEAR to DATE. But, who can argue with MATT'S EXPECTATIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get it, you are a homer who likes to throw OPINION out as a basis of FACT, and when cornered to supply tangible evidence relating to back up that opinion, calls names. So be it.

So be it. How am I being a homer? I find it hard to believe I'm the only person that would take Robinson Cano over Ian Kinsler. Their career numbers are pretty darn close. Cano's awful start didnt help matters but he's currently the hottest hitter in baseball and I expect him to end his season close to .300 and around 20 HR's. He's that talented at the plate. They are both relatively young and I like Cano's upside as a hitter more than I do Kinslers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that was disproved, you go to expectations of where you think he will be. Your argument is foundering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
